Takarajimasha, the Japanese publisher renowned for its magazines, books, and brand-appendix merchandise, has launched a new product featuring "Otokoume," the popular Japanese candy produced by Nobel Confectionery (Nobel Seika). This new item, "Otokoume-chan 3D Silicone Pouch BOOK," has a suggested retail price of 2,480 JPY and was officially released today (the 13th)!
"Otokoume" is a series of plum-based products manufactured by Nobel Confectionery, bearing the slogan "A plum that refines men." It is characterized by its rich, sour, and salty plum flavor, combined with a masculine image design, making it widely popular among consumers. Products like Otokoume candy and Otokoume sparkling sake are frequently seen in convenience stores and supermarkets in Taiwan!
This "Otokoume-chan 3D Silicone Pouch BOOK" comes with a silicone pouch, approximately 9.3 cm tall, designed in the likeness of Otokoume's mascot, Otokoume-chan. Utilizing unique silicone molding technology, it faithfully recreates Otokoume-chan's rugged yet charmingly grotesque appearance. The plum's uneven surface, fierce expression, and the muscular lines of its arms are all meticulously reproduced! Unzipping the zipper on Otokoume-chan's back reveals a compartment for storing various small items, and as shown in the images, displaying it on a small mat also gives it a very high-quality feel! This product is not waterproof, so from the official images showing water being poured over Otokoume-chan, it's clear he truly is a complete tough guy!
